LINEAR FUNCTION
A Linear Function is a function that can be written in the form f(x) = mx + b where
Activity : Function or NOT Function?
m and b are real numbers

−50 5 Plotting the points, we obtained straight line. Which is the graph of Linear
function
Extending the line, we will see that the x-values and y-values are all real numbers.
Using Set Builder Notation: Domain D : { x|xϵR }
Using interval Notation: Domain D : (-∞, +∞)
Range: { y| yϵR } or (-∞, +∞)
The x and y-intercept of a linear function can be solved by substituting f(x) = 0 to
find the x-intercept also known as the “zero” of the function and by evaluationg
f(0) to find the y-intercept.
The graph is always is a straight line
